General practice rapidly adopted remote technologies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to
support the provision of safe and timely patient care. Remote patient care using video and telephone
consultations can offer benefits in terms of access and service delivery innovation, but can also
create challenges in safety assessment, communication and rapport building in the patient–doctor
collaboration. For GP trainees it is now common to offer remote care for patients and receive remote
training supervision, whereas prior to the pandemic, face-to-face interactions had been the norm.
This presentation will facilitate discussion on the question: What are the benefits, challenges and
opportunities for GP trainees using remote technologies for patient care and training supervision?
This service evaluation is conducting qualitative in-depth interviews with GP trainees, GP trainers and
GP education experts in the UK to understand the experience of GP trainees in using remote service
technologies since 2020. The service evaluation will be published in July 2023 in partnership with the
NIHR Remote by Default 2 study and Healthcare Education England.
